Make sure to turn off the thing to update all microsoft software. That makes it takes eons longer than just updating XP...

I can agree there.
I just reinstalled XP - during install it decided to run chkdsk on my backup drive, and took 3 hours "fixing things". Funnily enough, when it had finally done that and finished installing... about 80% (~160gb) of the drive was borked...

And? Did it ever spend 7 hours updating?

I feel your pain. I had to do this on a weekend-LAN once. Took me 7 hours of precious gaming time.

You try booting a game from a worn tape, you ask me.
